Agree, missed opportunity to start right in the #earlyyears and see the impact from the bottom up. No #earlyyears or primary reps on panel to provide a rounded discussion but also to enrich the pedagogical perspectives.

Welcoming in a new year. Great to start after feeling digitally detoxed and thoroughly replenished through deliberate #slowing and #creativepractice in August. Open to what this year holds for education, early years, coaching, mentoring, learning and thinking.

Early Childhood Ireland EECERA So excited that Debi Keyte-Hartland (Early Childhood)🎨🖌️💚🌳🌱🌎 is sharing our work here on #SpaceToFlourish in early years Early Education - using arts and creativity, with adults and children in EYFS. Go Debi!

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

A fabulous, joyful thread for a Monday. Images put to words, interpreted through observations written down. Great creativity - great stimuli. Noticing the world around us. Simply beautiful.

Children are stars ⭐️ #EYFS #JoyOfLife

Great to highlight this work Debi Keyte-Hartland (Early Childhood)🎨🖌️💚🌳🌱🌎 Early Education and to see you sharing this infographic perfectly summarising our project called 'SPACE to Flourish'. 💎SPACE = Supporting Pedagogies in Arts and Creativity Everywhere. Which enables us and #EYFS children to flourish

I will give this another listen on BBC Sounds but what I heard (imo) was a refreshing, upfront and honest realistic picture of the situation, lived experience and a commitment to inclusion and support especially in early years. Thank you for airing this programme BBC Woman's Hour

I thought the live show was useful and so good to gather people to share experiences and hear about the intentions and visions for a better more inclusive future. Thanks BBC Woman's Hour IPSEA and those who participated and voiced their thoughts.

Brave, poignant letter in Times today - “Julia Waters saved my life” - proves what we all knew. Ruth’s amazing sister has done so much to help desperate heads brutalised by Ofsted. The truly nasty attempt to take her down with an inaccurate comment piece has utterly backfired.

How can it be nearly 3pm and school pick up again at the end of this week already...? Fri-yay!

The end of Ofsted banners..Schools which have graded inspections this academic year told they cannot use Ofsted judgement logos as these relate only to overall effectiveness and grades for this have been scrapped. tes.com/magazine/news/…

🚨 Ofsted has added four new videos to their Early Years FAQs playlist. 📹 Topics include ratios, parent feedback during inspections, and how inspection feedback is provided. A key resource for educators. Watch now: zurl.co/B6xd

leading to a change in culture ... perhaps? hopefully?

A perfect beautiful watch and significant metaphor ❤️

Today was full and formative for future thinking, vision, deepening pedagogy, sharing practice, building confidence. Funny how some days just go like that. Usually they come after one that was far less exciting! (image by me during a #SpaceToFlourish session) #glimmers
